This place allows players to harass other players. Which is…read morenot allowed by pokemons rules of play. When I asked the owner about it he showed zero signs of compassion or concern he only cares about his shop. My son who has a learning disability and emotionally impaired left 15 minutes after starting a game here from being harassed by one of the long time players here . I don't recommend anyone playing or shopping here. Especially after seeing how the owner is. He needs psychological help. Especially running a shop for kids. My son started walking home and this place is in a really rough neighborhood while carrying a couple thousand dollars of Pokemon collection in his backpack. Don't come here it's very very schweaty play and the owner has the personality of a card scalper

They have everything from cars, model planes, warhammer and GUNPLA. I have never seen the neku bosou series and I'm so happy that I found them here. The store is owned by a super nice couple and I am all about supporting small businesses. The prices are also very competitive! Every thing that is marked regular price is 20% off and they have a monthly competition where they gift a buyer $50 if you bought at least $20 worth of stuff. At the time of this review, it was my second visit in 20 days and I still came out with a huge haul (see pic). They are super active on their Facebook page always taking pictures of their latest arrivals. They also hold things for you at your request so that's how I came out with my next series of cats! Thanks ModelCave and I'll be back soon!

They're not paranoid of you; they're just friendly and want to help. But what they REALLY want to do is play a game with you - like a FLUX card game. (I played the CAT version.) Speaking of cat, their 17 yr old kitty died last year. Don't be too hard on them. The place is dated, cluttered and musty. But they're great people and that's what matters.

Dean's Hobby Stop is a mecca of vintage kits, many in amazingly good condition considering they are 30-50 years old mostly, and at much better prices that you might pay on eBay. Not to mention you save the expense and risk of shipping if you come to the store in person. I live in Chicago and have family in the Detroit area, but I'll go quite a bit out of my way to come here whenever I can. Dean is a real gentleman and his wife and partner is a real gem too!
